The 3-D x-ray system captures the most information for Dr. Huang to develop a customized treatment plan for your specific needs. We offer a wide range of treatment options so that we can create the perfect solution to match your lifestyle. 

 

Surgical Orthodontics

Interdisciplinary orthodontic treatment in conjunction with corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Often, these abnormalities cause difficulty associated with chewing, talking, sleeping and other routine activities. Orthognathic surgery corrects these problems and, in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, will improve the overall appearance of the facial profile.

 

Using the latest in digital imaging technology, we will demonstrate the overall functional and aesthetic benefits of orthognathic surgery. Computerized treatment planning minimizes treatment times, recovery periods and the overall efficacy of your surgery. State-of-the-art materials such as titanium plates and miniature screws provide stability, strength and predictability to your treatment.  These advances in technology, procedures and equipment reduce post-surgical recovery time, thus allowing patients to return to their normal routines soon after the surgery.

 

Orthognathic surgery may not be necessary if orthodontic treatment alone can correct the problem. With the latest advances in orthodontics using temporary skeletal anchorage devices, this is sometimes the case. We will discuss with you all the different options and determine if orthognathic surgery is the recommended treatment option for you.
